the 44 he only wants 250 out of,
/// This! ///
that's one of those DEPENDS ON type deals, models/condition/what type shotgun bbls etc. WITHOUT seeing them or knowing what mdl/condition the thompson and the 22 are. imo the 44 is the only one that might have some real value but not 375$ unless a very in demand mdl in primo condition. that would be a deal I would make an offer for ALL, keep one or two and sell the rest. without the info, sight un seen I'd be hard pressed to offer more than 500$-700$ max. get the info/pics and do some homework, or roll the dice and offer 500$ and be prepared to catch hell. the little woman may as well know now what she is in for.gunboy would have a better idea than me. but those are the kinda deals I like best, buy severall at once, sell most for a small profit at a gun show and get 1 or 2 at a bargain.
X40!!!!! Condition is everything! $250 might be good for the 44 Mag if in 80% or better condition, I bought one for $280 in 90% condition and traded her off since I already have a 44 Mag Winchester Trapper Carbine which I love.
Duetze AKA Nacho Grande is giving you excellent advise. I just bought a small collection like the ones your mentioned. They are a 1941 Winchester 1894 Lever in .30-30 cal open sights in 85% condition, a 1953 Winchester Model 100 Semi Auto with Clip with steel Weaver K4 Scope in .308 in 85-90% condition, and a 1957 Winchester Model 12 Pump Shotgun 12 Ga, 2 /34" 28" Plain Modifed barrel in 70% condition for $700. Selling the Model 12 for $300, and I'll have $400 in $1000 worth of guns. That's how you have to buy them. $1000 being I coud sell them tomorrow for $1000 on Gunbroker.com quick, they are worth used retail/used blue book for the pair around $1500-1600.
Patients is a virtue and I'm sure you now wish you waited on that 40. multiple gun deals is what I dream of and you possibly could have made you enough profit to get the 44 lever and 40 for next to nothing. paying full retail plus tax at a gun/pawn shop is an absolute last resort imo.
